My question is, to get the warm tube sound that I enjoy, do I get a tube preamp or power amp to start. I would also be interested to hear what everyone’s take on a good entry level component without having the budget constraint.
Need help picking my first tube amp
Hey guys i want to get into tubes, i have heard wayyyyyyy to much and am dying to try a tube amp. I have a budget of 650 us dollars, not sure if i want a pre amp, or full tube amp. Im thinking pre amp cause i would really like it to drive headphones and then run it into a amp and then to speakers.
Been reading alot about Chineese tube amps and not sure what to think. I have my eye on Xduoo TA-26 gets rave reviews has anybody used it ? anyways looking for any input i can get, thanks.

@holmz So I have Mac C33 & MC402. Running some old JBL 4331’s with L100’s on top. I kind of have a thing for vintage JBL. Anyway, I bought a pair of 4345’s that I would like to bi-amp with the Mac driving the bass and tubes driving the mids and tweeter. Just trying to figure out a way to make that happen without a huge investment in case I don’t want to keep it that way. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. |
